Anthony Foley - RTE

Post by Shan »

Guys -

Assuming yer TV's are operating tonight there is a programme on RTE 1 @ 21:35 which may be worth watching.

Anthony Foley: Munsterman
Documentary examining the life and career of the rugby union player and coach, looking at the events surrounding his time at Munster, his death at the age of 42 and the aftermath.

I'll be a blubbery mess but it's a must watch.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

I lost the ould satellite around the time the dinner gong sounded and still have no connection.

Fortunately, I brought a "magic box" home from Spain so must check after HIGNFY if I can watch it.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I'm just about to watch the Axel programme & get the end of the RTE News showing pictures of the storm. Then the weather forecast, and the bint presenting it starts with, "well looks like we'll have plenty of firewood anyway". :shock: :shock: :shock: Did nobody tell the mad bitch that 3 people were killed in fallen/ing tree accidents. Sacred mother of Jaysus.
